Learn to Cook Nourishing and Frugal Food from The Nourishing Gourmet (And a Giveaway!)

Do you struggle with knowing how to balance the time and budget demands of making food for your family, with your desire to cook whole, nourishing and traditional foods?

If so, you will love this new eCourse being offered by my dear friend Kimi of The Nourishing Gourmet! It’s called “A Peasant’s Feast: Nourishing Food on a Budget”.

Eating real food sounds great, right? But how do we fit it into our daily life? We want real food, but we also have real life schedules and budgets. We want to eat healthier foods, but aren’t sure where to start. And isn’t real food just for the rich? Grass fed beef, free range chicken and organic produce can be expensive! How does one afford it on a normal budget? My ecourse is aimed at showing you how to eat real food on a realistic budget.

Kimi Harris, taken from the A Peasant’s Feast page.

I’ve been following her blog, The Nourishing Gourmet, since it’s inception over two years ago. Kimi has a very solid grasp on nutrition, but even more than that, she focuses on making foods that appeal to the senses and taste fabulous, all on a frugal budget. Many of the recipes from The Nourishing Gourmet have made their way into our family repertoire and we eat them frequently. They are inexpensive, simple to make and winners at the dinner table.

What the Ecourse Includes:

I have been privy to some course previews and I can tell you that this is a high caliber course and worth much more than she is charging for it! The videos are excellent, showing you recipes step-by-step, while Kimi shares cooking techniques, ideas for ingredient substitutions to use what you have on hand, nutritional tidbits, and plenty of frugal tips.

Each weekly lesson includes a cooking demonstration video, as well as downloadable PDF files with lectures on the why’s and how’s of preparing real food, help for finding resources for high quality ingredients, shopping guides, health and nutrition information, as well as several recipes for each lesson. The course material is beautifully presented, easy to follow along with and could actually be a book in and of itself!

  131. Hi Stephanie, just a word of advice on grammar. Only write ” it’s ” with an apostrophe if it’s short for ” it is “. Otherwise, no apoostrophe. So, with reference to your post above, ‘its inception’ would be correct, rather than ‘its’ inception’.

    Hope this helps!

  195. I’d like to win this for two reasons: 1) because the entire course would benefit my immediate family (history of heart disease and diabetes) and extended family as I can pass along ideas for my step-dad, aunt, and mother-in-law (all Type 2 diabetics) and 2) because I am currently in school to become a personal trainer and specialist in fitness nutrition, and I know the more I learn about not just the “why’s” but the HOW’s of cleaning up a client’s diet, the more helpful I can be to them.
